Preparation Steps

• Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.
• In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and shimmering.
• Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
• Remove the fish from the skillet and serve immediately.
